Now three weeks has passed since I first launched my new niche blog, if you haven’t read the first two posts i think that you should go read them first week1, week2.

So what have I done this week:

This week I was supposed to do a lot of marketing on other blogs but I not targeted as many blogs as I would like to, the weather has just been too nice and since I live in a country where it usually is raining you cant afford to miss out on those sunny days,

Although the weather has been wonderful I have done some work, I have been writing at least one post each day and the blog has gotten its first comments which feels very good, it tells you there is at least some interest.

The number of visitors has decreased a little but since my main focus is to rank on my keywords I don’t care to much right now. I know that I will get my traffic once I get the page to the top of the serp (search engine result page).

This is what it looks like right now.

Keyword ranks on Google:
keyword #1 177
keyword #2 87
keyword #3 46

Total backlinks: 9

Pages Indexed Within Google: 91
yahoo Pages Indexed Within Yahoo!: 5
live Pages Indexed Within Live Web Search: 1

This tells me that I have some serious work to do, the number of backlinks are way to low.

As I wrote in the first post I am using Google Analytics to track my visitors, if you use it right it can give you some extremely valuable information. I totally depend on it to tell me if I am doing things right.

If you take a look at the Traffic Sources Overview below you can see that 17,31% are coming from Search Engines, last week that value was 13,79% and we do want that value to grow.

Below you can find a screenshot from Google Analytics with some more information.

I also like to use SEOrush to take a quick view of how things are going, take a look at it.

I stumbled upon a product called Comment Kahuna from John Cow a few days ago and after looking at their promotion video and the price tag that said FREE, I decided to try it out. It´s a tool that is built to find blogs and leave comments on them, this piece of software makes it easy.

I would really recommend you to take a look at the promotion video to decide if it would suit your needs, it´s totally free.

What´s up for next week:
I will continue with commenting on blogs and continue to put new content on my website for Google to sink its teeth into. I also really need to build some more backlinks.

Next week I will write a follow-up and give you some more advice.
